happy halloween

Happy Halloween everyone!!! Its that great night where I can indulge my love of the dark side of life....plus eat a lot of candy. If your after a great site for Halloween chocolate joy check out the amazing designs from British based chocolate store Choccywoccydoodah. I just adore their chocolate skulls as they feature designs inspired from the day of the dead celebrations.

So tonight I will be watching a combination of scary movies and a bit of film noir. The triple feature will be Cabin Fever, Blood Rayne and The Black Dahlia. So I'm now off to the shops for more candy!!!! Happy Halloween!

Inspiration Costumes

Its no secret that I adore the show The Big Bang Theory and with Halloween on the horizon I figured I'd look at them for a bit of geek costume inspiration.

The picture above is from one of their Halloween episodes which always makes me laugh as they are dressed as follows. L-R Howard as Robin Hood, Raj as Thor, Leonard as Frodo and Sheldon as the doppler effect. Ok so maybe I won't get dressed as these characters but at least its a starting point.

Maybe I could do a medieval theme like this????

Or just stick with the classic superheros? LOL

A bit more football

As I said a while ago I have recently been going to a few Melbourne Victory games. Ok so I still don't have a huge idea whats going but its still fun to head out with friends and enjoy the atmosphere. So I thought I'd share a few more photos of my adventures with you.

This is me on the way to the game while the boys try yet again to explain the "off side" rule. I must say I am actually enjoying going to the football, if for no other reason its a great night out with buddies.

I love Mode Merr

With the festive season creeping up on us I thought it was time to hit the net to see what I could find for all those parties on the horizon. Last year I headed to Betty Page but this year I'm thinking I should head back to the label that inspired me many years ago; Mode Merr. In true Mode Merr style I was just delighted at the dresses on offer, so I figured I'd share.

The first to catch my eye was the "Eye Candy Blouse" which according to Mode Merr is a sweet interpretation of their best selling "Everybody Loves Cleavage" Blouse. It is a pull on top is made of soft cotton lycra jersey. with a Peter Pan Collar and keyhole neckline are trimmed with red ric-rac and fastened with a grosgrain ribbon bow. As you can see by the picture above it looks stunning teamed with a full skirt however I am sure that it would look just as stunning with a pencil skirt too.

Of course the ultra cute "Candy Dress" also caught my eye. Who doesn't love a stunning dress for Christmas that also will help satisfy your sweet tooth. Made of red stretch cotton twill with playful candies cascading down the a-line skirt. Ok so if anyone wants to send me an early christmas gift here is you very unsubtle hints LOL

Happy frock shopping

OPI and the Muppets

Sometimes you get to combine two things you love and right now OPI nail polish has teamed up with the MUPPETS!!!!

So you can imagine the massive smile when I came across the super cute display at my local polish supply store.

OPI has even named them with fantastic names like "warm and Fozie" and "getting Piggy with it". Which I do admit will probably be the first to come home with me for a test in the next few weeks. As soon as I get them on my nails I will post some pics for you all so you can see how they look on.

So far I have only seen them in the normal size bottles but I am hoping to find some of the mini bottles so can I can give them to my fav gals for Christmas.

Spooky

Its that time of the year again....Halloween.

Personally I adore Halloween, hey any excuse to play dressups and eat candy. Honestly its not the only reason, but hey candy is candy. For me its a nice connection to All saints day and the festival of the dead. Yep that sounds depressing but I prefer to see it as a time when we can connected with the people that have passed.

Slowly Halloween is becoming a bigger event in Australia. If your in Melbourne its a great chance to go on one of the local ghost tours where you can really get your spook on. LOL

So right now I'm in planning mode for my own Halloween decoration. Of course there will be lots of cut outs of bats and skeletons. But my pride and joy for those visiting me over the Halloween weekend will be my candy buffet. Todays mission is actually going hunting for candy jars and of course candy in spooky colours.

So dust of your broomsticks, grab your pointy hat and lets get magical.

Go Melbourne

Normally I'm an AFL girl, GO BRISBANE LIONS!!!! Ok so I had to put that cheer in. However I have recently been going to the soccer, which means learning a whole new ball game, literally.

Why you may ask is this retro AFL gal going to the soccer? Well to be honest it was because I was invited. However once you get there you do realize that the sport is much better to watch live than on TV. Not to mention the team I am going and supporting has also recently signed Harry Kewell to play.

So I thought I might show you a couple of snaps I got the other weekend while watching. I must admit there is something about having 40,000+ people holding their breath waiting for a team to score that can really pull you into the atmosphere.
